HOME RUN DERBY 2014 - Yoenis Cespedes wins

The 2013 home run derby champion, Yoenis Cespedes lit up the park again and defended his title. In the derby final, Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes outslugged Reds third baseman Todd Frazier, 9 is to 1, to win the MLB All Star home run derby at Target Field in Minneapolis on Monday. Frazier won the coin toss and elected to have Cespedes hit first, thinking the Oakland slugger might be tired because he had hit more recently. Good thought, but the apparently inexhaustible Cespedes got off to a rocking start with a towering drive to left-center. He found a groove and racked up five home runs before he recorded his fourth out. Frazier's brother Charlie pitched him into the finals, but the road ended there without a win for the siblings. When Frazier hit his first and only home run, he already had five outs. An affable Frazier was all smiles as he congratulated Cespedes on his victory. Cespedes hit a total of 30 home runs, but was nearly eliminated in the first round. Two of his homers came in the opening round as part of a swing-off with Oakland teammate Josh Donaldson. Cespedes and Donaldson each hit three homers in their first at-bats before Cespedes won the tiebreaker, 2 is to 1. Cespedes then hit 16 homers over the next two rounds to reach the final. Frazier finished with 11 home runs. ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "The Duggars in Emotional Homemade Video, say goodbye to Jill and Derick as they leave US" ➨    • The Duggars in Emotional Homemade Video, s...   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
